WHAT THE PARENTS SAY

What can I say. Mark Stawman is the most talented, encouraging and patient piano teacher. My daughter has had him as her teacher since she was 5 years’ old and she has achieved excellent results and fostered her love of the piano and music more widely through her lessons with Mark.

She began with in-person lessons in England but, with Mark now located in Spain, now has online lessons and that change has worked seamlessly.

Rhiannon

“Mark has been teaching my son Sam for over 10 years, starting when Sam was just 6 years old. When Mark moved to Spain, we continued with lessons via Skype as we could not imagine Sam wanting to continue lessons with anyone else.

I would throughly recommend lessons with Mark, he is patient, friendly, supportive and encouraging. Sam has grown into a very competent pianist under Mark's guidance, a gift for life."

Jan

"My son moved to Mark just a few months ago. He was not confident and considering giving up playing but has been completely turned around

He has rediscovered his enjoyment and is always happy and positive after every lesson he has with Mark and looks forward to the next one. It is lovely to see and we are delighted with the change."

Sarah

“Mark is currently teaching piano to 3 members of our family. My eldest son (10) has been studying with Mark for 4 years – initially in Leeds and now via Skype since Mark moved to Spain. He enjoys his lessons with Mark and we have been delighted by his progress and the high exam marks he has achieved.

My youngest son (7) has been studying piano with Mark for 1.5 years, all lessons via skype, and is also making good progress. Having seen how much the children enjoy their lessons, my husband (45) has now also recently started piano lessons via skype with Mark and has been very impressed with the lessons.

We highly recommend Mark as a piano teacher. He is enthusiastic, extremely patient, readily adapts his lessons to the students needs, and is able to relate and encourage his students across a wide age range.."

20 Years of Experience

QUALIFICATIONS AND PIANO TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Learning the piano as a child should feel exciting, creative, and full of confidence-building moments.

My online piano lessons for children focus on developing musical skills in a way that feels natural, enjoyable, and perfectly suited to young learners.

Lessons include a mix of songs, games, patterns, and musical activities that help children understand the piano without feeling overwhelmed.

As they learn, they start to recognise shapes, sounds, rhythms, and techniques that make playing feel easier and more rewarding.

These lessons suit complete beginners, children who are already learning at school, and young musicians who want to strengthen their technique and musical understanding.

FAQs

Do you prepare children for ABRSM exams?

Yes, I prepare students for ABRSM Grade 1-8 exams and the ARSM diploma when they’re ready. However, exams are optional—many children prefer to learn for enjoyment without exam pressure.

What Age Can My Child Start Piano Lessons?

The ideal age to start is between 4 and 7 years old. Children as young as 5 can begin if they can sit still for 30 minutes, know left from right, and have basic hand coordination. Every child develops at their own pace, so I assess readiness individually

What Are the Benefits of Learning Piano Young?

Research shows piano training improves memory, attention span, problem-solving, reading ability, and academic performance. Students with musical training show better verbal memory, language pronunciation, and executive functions. Starting before age 7 produces superior motor skill development that lasts into adulthood.

When and how often are lessons?

Lessons take place on the agreed day and time, reserved exclusively for the student. Please note that lessons may not follow local school term dates.

Between 1 September 2025 and 30 July 2026, students are offered 42 lessons, including six non-teaching weeks (which may be split across separate days).

What about piano practice at home?

Daily practice on a piano or keyboard is essential.

Parents and adult students are responsible for ensuring all assigned work is completed. If a student consistently arrives unprepared, the teacher may pause or terminate tuition.

How do online lessons work?

My online piano lessons are delivered via RockOutLoud

Students may enter a virtual waiting room if the teacher is finishing another lesson.
